In This lifeSong of reflection

In life we all must face pain

What makes you Strong is not what you endureBut how you come through

You told me you were going through hard timesKnow that it’s a test that life has thrown your wayWhat you got to do to passIs be the solution and not the problemAnd only through life challengesYou can experience change

In life we all must face painWhat makes you strong is not what you endureBut how you come through

You said that you just want to get awayThe answer is not in running but confronting what you fear the mostI’m talking from experience I know the costOne thing is for sure no matter how farYou run the problem will never be solved

In life we all must face painWhat makes you Strong is not what you endureBut how you come through

Listen valleys are there to make you strongSo you’ve got to face them head onDon’t you give up don’t you give inTill you reach the top of the mountainHold on

In life we all must face painWhat makes you Strong is not what you endureBut how you come through

Love isSong of adoration

The very essence of your name is love

The only name that can unite as oneYour name is worthy to be praise your greatYour love is complete so pureJust to know your in my life is brightBrings me joy and it’sSo satisfying and Idon’t wanna part from your love

Love is patient and kindForgiving and it’s not blindIf others don’t believe I believe in you

The silent way you speak to meIs a pure and guiding love in deedIt teaches me how to give with joyYour love is supreme it’s pureJust to know you in my life it’s brightGives me wings to flyTo soar like an eagle so highDon’t wanna part from your love

Love can heal and mend bridgesIt’s wholesome and gives you inner strengthIt’s comforting but can be scoldingLove is life a fountain that flows and grows

25

Quotes

Love is life. All, everything that I understand I understand only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source. -Leo Tolstoy

Where love is, there God is also - Mohandas Gandhi

Affirmation

I am love for I am a child of God

The Word

John 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

1 John 4:9-12By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

Romans 8:37-39But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Genesis 2:18-25Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.

IdentitySong of reflection

There was this man Who didn’t know his identity

Depended on people just to find securityWants approval by always saying yes never no Compromised cause he didn’t want to be aloneEverything he did never gave it any valueWaited for someone to tell him you doWants to be loved seeking others instead of God Compromised cause he didn’t want to be alone

It’s how you feel not what you doThat describes youThat’s God in youIt’s how you feel not what you doThat describes youThat’s God in you

Your identity is not your stabilityBut a purpose that will unlock Others destinyYes a key designed for you by God Trust in Him and let Him lead the wayYou existence is a link to your identityTake your place as the soldiers you were made to be Wants to be loved seeking others instead of God Compromised cause he didn’t want to be alone

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.-- George Bernard Shaw

Affirmation

I am loving and unique, free and loved in Christ.

The Word

John 12:36 I have been chosen by God and adopted as His childPraise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 I am a minister of reconciliation for God.Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13: 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.'

Romans 8:35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

1 John 3:16-18By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

It came to me that there has to be more to lifeThen what I seeJust trying to make ends meetInstead of living fearlesslyRight then I knewI had to change rearrangeThe way that I was thinkingAnd begin to live accordinglyTo His word thatʼs all God asks of me

Can you help me say

That I am everything I am to beWith your light shinning fromWithin meNot defined by my pastBut prepared for my task

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.

James 1:12"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
